Mental Capacity Assessment - Getting it
right!

Thurs 26th
January 2017, 9:15am to
4:00pm, Peterborough

Lead by two leading experts in the field, Michael Mandelstam, independent legal trainer and consultant and Mark Jayes, a speech and language therapist since 2003, this practical workshop will help you get to grips with assessment of mental capacity, including an overview of common communication disorders and how these can impact on mental capacity.

This workshop, lead by Prof Pam Enderby, will enable participants to be able to select an appropriate outcome measure for their clinical practice. Delegates go away with a greater understand of how best to collect and measure outcomes data on clients receiving treatments. The day includes both theoretical and practical components.

This year's event promises to provide even more tools for therapy professional’s whose workloads and responsibilities continue to increase as they move further and further into front line positions, to support other healthcare professionals experiencing unprecedented pressure from all sides.

Look out for the Posture and Wheelchair training sessions.

a unique insight into the experiences of those affected
by encephalitis, sharing the rich, perceptive, and often
powerful, narratives of survivors and family members

It shows how listening to patient and family narratives can help us to understand how they make sense of what has happened to them, and also help professionals better understand and engage with them in practice.
